Really good season. No idea who wins.


All I really know is Romeo doesn’t win, and Jonathan probably doesn’t. It’s a roll of the dice between Lindsey, Mike, and Maryanne. If I was a gambler I’d put my money on Mike because he has a lot of allies on the jury.

Wasn’t my preferred winner IMO (Mike) but CBS has pretty much telegraphed this one for weeks.

Mike didn’t articulate his strategy well enough. If he would’ve argued that he used trustworthiness in his social game while simultaneously manipulating and selectively breaking his word to help his game he maybe could’ve pulled it off.

People not using immunity idols doesn’t impress me but good for her.

She did great during the final tribal.

Her showing the idol moment won her the game.

Back to back two worst survivor winners in history.
Even my eleven year old son was like I’m never watching this show again and walked out as this little crackhead won without winning a challenge.
Got votes because she is black and she was voted for by her black sisters and gay men.
frick this shite

She articulated her strategy/game way better than Mike. Mike looked unprepared for the final tribal council whereas Maryanne was waiting for that question.

Mike is a fireman. He isn’t very smart lolz


These challenges are geared towards women with small feet and balance. Strong men don’t stand a chance.

He broke his word multiple times, if he would’ve just owned it I think he could’ve had a chance.

Jury went nuts for the mic drop moment from Maryanne which really wasn’t that impressive but she sold it beautifully.

Mike didn’t stress the fact that Maryanne got carried into the final while he had to slay the challenge beast Jonathan.

He was the only one of the final 3 who forgot to cry, too.

The jury practically begged Mike to say he used his trustworthiness as part of his strategy, and he couldn’t do it. He had it won had he read their pleas.

It’s because he was convinced he actually was trustworthy the whole time

The show went out of its way to broadcast Mike backstabbing

Having the idol and not playing it wasn’t the impressive move.

Getting Mike to play HIS idol for her instead of someone else while she had one in her pocket that no one knew about was the move, and it was HUGE.

I found her incredibly annoying most of the season and considered her a goat you carry to the end, but between getting Omar out and that idol move, she won my respect at the end.

Reflecting on this more, can’t blame the jury for voting for Maryanne after FTC

I do agree that Maryann played really well towards the end. But I still think Mike played the better game but couldn’t deliver his argument.

Mike totally botched the final tribal, too much pride I guess?

I don't think Maryanne was a great winner, but it was pretty obvious the last few weeks that she was the one to beat. She was just good enough at the game and was clearly going to get some empathy votes no matter what.

Jonathan voted for Mike. Everyone else voted for Maryanne.

Two Canadian winners in a row. Gross.

Only reason she won.

No, the jury seems to forget how the game is supposed to be played.

Maryanne did one move, Omar. Very undeserving winner to say the least.

Mike got the same treatment many middle aged women have usually gotten in FTC. he played a very good social game but ultimately had to lie, back stab and manipulate but couldn’t own up to it. Coach also had this problem in the season he lost.

Maryanne had an all time great FTC performance. Not sure there’s ever been a mic drop like when she pulled out her unused idol.

Even Romeo had a good tribal. Great season overall. Loved every episode.
